“I’m not guessing” is the my least favorite Rabby-ism. Used almost exclusively when we are about to lose a recruit that he had been previously clickbaiting as a high likelihood of coming to IU.

That’s why I used it. Just cause Rabby loves to use it.

I saw one article saying firing Woodson mid season could be bad for IU and their search for a new coach. Other programs see we fired Woodson and they will be more likely to start with talks of contract extensions with their coaches.

It’s not a secret. There is one candidate that IU is having discussions with. He’s just some masshole.

Yes

What I’m picking up is, if Woodson gets fired before Michigan, it’s Stevens. If not, it’s May. Pretty sure I’m getting that right ;)

Oh I know it! I was just taking any chance I get to whine about that phrase because of how many times I’ve read “IU is out of this one. I’m not guessing.”  :(

on another note I’m glad to hear you’re locking in already and we’ve got some flight data and back channeling you’re hearing! I look forward to the next few months and hopefully some celebratory IPAs when we shock the world

I have figured out that you are IndianaResident16 over on HSN

Is he as annoying over there as he is here?

Other schools know that we aren't retaining Woodson.

As a booster you don’t raise 10-12 million a year to go talk to the coach of South Dakota State.

Does that include the $8.4m that is going to Woodson?

I get the size joke but, otherwise?  His resume is miles better than Archie’s was at time of hire.  It’s actually very similar, if not better, than Sampson’s was when IU hired him.

if you don’t like Cronin, it’s because of his unfiltered personality or style of play (which is similar to Sampson, Beard, Barnes etc.).  Not because of his resume at Murray, Cincy and UCLA.  
Not my first or second choice, but he would be a massive upgrade from Woodson. 
I’ll be paying attention to his public comments before and after the game on the 14th.

I have no doubt he’d have us in the tournament just about every year with some S16 runs.  Other than the one FF during the COVID season he never does more though. Would obviously be a massive upgrade but he wouldn’t make my top 5 of realistic candidates.

Describes about 50% of the people on this planet. Doesn't mean we should hire them/him.

No that doesn’t. The athletic department has that money since it’s just a million a year.

That makes sense. He sucks over there too. Does he go by Tyme on X too?

Pretty much any coach would be a massive upgrade at this point. 

It's pretty amazing that IU truly has one of the worst coaches in major college basketball. They literally just bought a roster this year for a guy who can't seem to coach or manage it.

I'm not so sure that this isn't more rock bottom for the program than when the program imploded after Sampson. I mean, the program is obviously in better shape for the next coach, but there's no doubt that Woodson is the worst actual coach of any post-RMK.

[choosierred1 86]

Hard pass.  Like Archie, I just don’t think he measures up to the job.

I see what you did there. Lol

We’re talking to agents, wife’s, coaches, kids everyone. I’m just messing around but yes back channeling is going on. Probably with many people but I know of one for sure.

Are you aware of any wife/agents being talked to?

If suffering through 4 wasted years of Woody lands us the right timing for a certain masshole, I’ll say it was worth it lol

But I am with you, outside of some guys I don’t want for off the court reasons, basically anyone would be exciting at this point.

Last night was the most fun I’ve had watching an IU game since TJD left, and it was a loss. Sad state of affairs.

There was a reason I put them after each other.

Do we know if Stevens kids are through with high school?  That might be a reason for him not wanting to relocate.
